Although the contents of the message odd... There’s one small harp string somewhere in the Lónarénic Condition that speaks a world of appeal. Not stranger to well intentioned, perhaps, divine entities, not much more was questioned, before plan put in place.

Sending a small corvette to get the party there, one that... Reeks of a familiar, but long lost time, of unsteady lonesome in the galaxy, days prior to contact with anything... It’s somewhat primitive design does well enough. Even if a reminder.

Mésru being taken there by the crew...

The area would be completely dead space, though it would seem this was a purposeful choice. Floating in the void was a large space station of sorts, elegant in its design and curves. Though it seemed unshielded at first, upon closer inspection the space around the station shimmered faintly, though subtly. Some small camera drones floated around the outside of the area, generally monitoring the environment. Though the station itself stood free, there did not seem to be a fleet anywhere in sight. (yes i'm using the same description sue me)

As the corvette arrived, they would likely be greeted with the sight of the other vessels, as well as a now swarming horde of sensory drones that buzzed around the shimmering hull of the station, cameras swiveling and preparing. The small vessel was hailed nearly instantly by the same monotone voice many others had heard.

"Welcome, Children. I question you not for that is unimportant, all that matters is your willingness to accept peace. Thusly, leave any weapons and convictions with your vessel, and please, if you so choose, dock so that my representatives may see to your accommodations. I ask you, be not afraid, for your best interest is mine as well."

As this was transmitted, a boarding dock lit up as a guide.

Bofur laughed "vell if dat tha case, i'll top at tha last one. It is both a gift and sumthin' ta help future relation"

he opened a small box to reveal some kind of plain-looking dataslate "dere is 'undreads of files about dawë culture in dis. From poetry ta history ta movies. With it is a communicator ta allow us ta talk when we go home"

"Interesting. And we have something for you." He hands them a small handheld device. "It's a vox communicator that connects right to the Church. You can also access Sakooran literature, movies, games, and much more."

Tyth and his guardsmen show the Imperial Salute (basically holding their arms out while balling their hands into fists and crossing their wrists together), towards the Dwarven people as a sign of good faith

The three Primarchs take the dwarven diplomats further into the Imperial Palace, into a large room, with a sturdy table in the center. After sitting, Horus speaks.

Primarch Horus Lupercal:"I know for a fact that Primarch Vulkan has already explained to you our proposition, as well as what it entails. I understand you have some reservations about joining the Imperium. Please voice them, so I may assuage them."

"Vell vee hav' two o' dem who ar' intrinsicly linked. Yer brother Vulkain explained dat while vee would be vassals wee would still be mostly independant. Tha dawë already pretty much work like dat, every dwarven forts is a self-governed democratic nation, tha confederacy only exist ta find a communal ground ta regulate internal trade between forts, create a communal army an' handle diplomacy with otha nations. Wee dinnae mind paying a tithe ta create a communal army, especially if it give us acess ta trade route and new technology. But tha dwarven confederacy is an' alliance where all forts are equal. Bein' a vassal mean being under tha authority of tha emperor and vee are 'fraid dat he vould abuse dat authority. Yer brother sworn he wasn't dat kind of mind, but it vould bee mor' acceptable ta have a garantee it vouldn't happen and vould be ready ta made concession ta get it."

Ulric took his breath, letting Durza continue

"Vee think dat Vulkain was bein' honest but vee tink o' one case when tha emperor and tha dawë might butt heads : how ta handle xenos. Vee had heard dat every alien ya encountered had been woefully hostile one. But dit hadn't bee our case. Fo' exemple one of our neighboor tha Siluth is an' artificial intelligence who wiew intelligent life as holy an' collect biological an' cultural samples ta preserve civilisations an' intelligent species in case o' genocide. Wee are affraid he vould command us ta go ta war with until den peaceful civilisation."

Durza paused and Rorik continued "tis is more dan reluctance ta war. Wee had no problem drawing blade ta defend erselves and wee did so in tha place, imposin' dwarven sovrenity in our territory at gunpoint. But tha imperium is literally on the otha side of da galaxy. If a war with our neighboor was declared it would take lottsa time ta tha legions ta come ta help. Fo' dis reason vee don't vant to lose tha freedom ta deal with otha nonhostile species in a peaceful way if possible.

Cormac sheathed the sword, and pulled out EMP pulse grenades from his equipment. These he tossing at the robots, rolling sideways to dodge any incoming fire.

Kira was already being herself. Sprinting around and haphazardly firing plasma bolts into the crowd of robots. She's slightly worse for wear, a bit of her fur being singed and a bit of the leg armor blown off, but she's running around just fine.

"Hit the shoulder joints! They're the weak points!"

(Timeskip?)

and so the dwarves and the sakoorans went part ways. For now.

(sure. Honestly i tought that would be the end of that perticular rp. We made first contact. But if you have anything to add go ahead. And if you want to start a new one i'mok with it)

(hello I am new)

Primarch Horus Lupercal:"You need not worry about Imperial hostility to xenos. The Emperor is more than willing to work with xenos that are non-hostile to humanity and the interests of the Imperium. We would be willing to require that Imperial decrees and actions focused on the Dwarven Confederacy or her neighbors go through a dwarven council of sorts for approval. The deal we offer is very similar to that of the Cult Mechanicum, where they are beholden to the will of the Emperor, but still self governing."

the dwarves take a moment to discuss between themselves for a while. Then they turned toward the primarchs. "doose terms vould be very agreeable indeed. We'll still need ta wait for tha council tha give der approval, but it counsiderably improved yer chances"

"Oh, Lt. Commander Cynthia of the Empress's Will? I met her once back when I was transferring to the Ring. She was in EVA Armor, so I didn't get to see her. You don't find many of her kind in the Sovereign Military. The Lapsians are generally a peaceful people. Citizens like Cynthia are exceptions."
